Howdy! How's your Liberty project?
Greetings Cobalt 72!!
Apologies as I didn't see your post right away.
Project is progressing but baby steps right now. Installed V6 airbox recently. Feels like response has improved slightly but this is subjective. The airbox had a nipple for blowby so I have plumbed the blowby hose to the airbox. Will see how this works regarding oil mist. I installed a K&N filter BTW so if mist is excessive at least I won't wreck the air filter!!
Also cleaned up the MAP sensor - very soot fouled as is expected on CRD's (so I have read). Still too soon to determine if a significant difference in perf/mileage although response seemed to improve a bit more.
I keep a close eye on tire pressures - my dad always had problems keeping the tires holding air. I am not sure why but the aluminum wheels Chrysler uses just don't seem to seal very well. I have had several MOPARs with aluminum wheels and all had the same issue to various levels.
Currently looking at the exhaust. Original exhaust still on CRD. I have a Flowmaster muffler from another project I am looking at installing. Just starting on that. Debating if I should get a new tailpipe as old one is 17 years old but still in decent shape. I am leaning toward a new one as I have been fooled by "solid" looking tailpipes in the past. Plumb them up and 3-6 mo later they are rotted through!! Muffler is very solid however. Stay tuned on this one.
I am looking at some other things as well but not as far along with them. Suspension is one - Jeep tends to creak and squeak over some bumps but getting better. My dad did not drive the Jeep very much the last few years so thinking maybe the suspension is just stiff.... Also looking at trans but that one may be too expensive - we will see.
Thanks for the inquiry! If you have some ideas on mileage/perf improvements for CRD or general Liberty info I would love to hear them.
Take Care!!
